Hosting Compiled Story Hours

[Morrus]

Odd. The links say "d20reviews.com" for me, not "enworld.org". Perhaps you're looking at a cached version of the page from just before I started rearranging things on the servers?

I've uploaded the page again just in case, though.

Morrus, do we need to state "The best of the best from those listed below: Out of the Frying Pan and Sagiro's Story Hour. And if Piratecat and Wulf Ratbane send theirs along, they will join them!"?

I mean, no one's denying that they're the most successful story hours, but we're all struggling to do our best. It sucks for us "Brand X" manufacturers when you've got the most popular story hours named as "the best", which is stating an absolute in a matter of taste.

You all know I love Nemmerle's, Sagiro's, Piratekitty's and Wulf's Story Hours, but here Doc is right, that phrase is unfair...

I also was struck by that introduction as being a little odd. Nothing against the Big 4, heck, we all know and love 'em. But if I were new to the Story Hour forum and came across this, I'd be likely to just check out the recommended ones and avoid the others. I don't have a dog in the compilation hunt (yet), but there's my two credits.

OK, refreshing the page now did the trick.

As for the "best of best" comment, I'm ambivalent. They are among the best, but I'm not sure that the intro should necessarily plug them as such. They've got enough advantages as it is!

 

[Lazybones]

Ah, we all know PC has an intern or something hitting "refresh" all day to get that page count up so high. That's the only explanation I can think of for that ungodly 95,000+ views.

Huh. Didn't even notice that bit.

It's nice to be considered "up there," sure. And it would be nice to have the extra traffic come my way-- save me the trouble of shamelessly plugging the story in the General forum (which I still have to do-- it ain't all gravy).

But appreciated though it may be by me, I can't say that I need the bump from Morrus; there's no sense disgruntling anybody over it.

I was pleasantly surprised to see it - but I am more surprised to say the mine is among the most popular - from the number of page views/reader posts I wouldn't think so. . .

Instead of having "the Man" recommend our story hours - perhaps we can go back to the idea of a "reviews page" like for d20 products where people can post reviews and ratings if they like.

Thanks Morrus, everything is working fine now.

Cheers

I had thought that was a good idea as well. I am not averse to criticism and competition.

God, I hope not, anyway. Story Hour is the least of my concerns these days...
